Most of the credit for this goes to lostpanda, who posted Version 1, and poisonpancake,
who transposed the chords for use with a capo. I am merely re-writing these for
everyone's ease of use.

***** CAPO 3 *****
Well, Emguy in a skeleton costume
GComes up to the guy in the CSuperman suit
Runs through him with a Embroadsword
I flipped the television off
Bring Gall the bright lights Cup
Turn the radio Emup loud
A I don't know why I'm so persuaded
D That if I think things through
CLong enough and hard enough
B I'll somehow get to you
But then you Emcame in and we locked eyes
You Akicked the ashtray over as we came toward each other
Stubbed my Ccigarette out against the west wall
B And quickly lit another
EmLook at that
Would you look at that?
A We're throwing off sparks
EmWhat will I Ddo when I Adon't have Emyou
To hold onto in the daBrk? Em
Yes, Emeverybody's gonna need a witness
GEverybody's gonna need a little Cback up
In case the scene gets Emnasty
You throw the attic window open
And I Gthrow myself all around Cyou
And night comes to TallaEmhassee
A I don't know why it's gotten harderD to keep myself away
CThought I'd finally beat the feeling back
B It all came back today
And then we Emfell down and we locked arms
We Aknocked the dresser over as we rolled across the floor
C I don't mean it when I tell you
B That I don't love you anymore
EmLook at that
Would you look at that?
AThe way the ceiling starts to swerve
EmWhat will I Ddo when I Adon't have Emyou
When I finally get what I desBerve?
Em till the end (bass changes chords, but I think the guitar part plays just the one chord).
